Evening everyone, I hope you are all coping ok. 20 odd years ago I went with my work to a Sportsmans Dinner at West Auckland Town FC and the guest speaker was non other than the great Big Jack Charlton. He told a tale about the Club President Harry who took his Wife for their 25th Wedding Anniversary to the States. While they were there they went on a trip to an Indian Reservation and the Guide told them the most knowledgeable Red Indian, with the best memory in the world lived here and was 75 years old, and Harry could go into his Wigwam and ask him a question. So Harry went in and said, "Have you ever heard of West Auckland Town FC? " Yes came the reply, they were the first winners of the European Cup against Juventus. Wow said Harry, do you know the score? 1 nil said the Chief, then the Guide said "enough now". Big Jack went on, Then earlier this year it was Harry's 50th Wedding Anniversary and unbelievably on returning to the USA ended up at the Indian Reservation again. He explained to the Guide that he met the Big Chief 25 years earlier. The Guide said, "the Chief is still alive and he will remember you" So excitedly Harry stuck his head into the Chief's Wigwam and said "How" and the Chief replied, "Diving Header"!

Debate.
I have had a membership with my son for the last 10 years, didn't get one last year as i had issues getting to games due to work and now can't get one as i didn't get one last year. The club are basing renewals on last year alone and not taking anything before that into concideration. I have been there in the bad times and many have joined based on the last year, anyone else think this is right, i dont.
Thoughts guys, or am I whinging.

No. Not whinging Dougie. You’re absolutely right.
History of support should play more of a part, rather than some who have just jumped on the wagon.

not whinging Dougie, well said Bright.

I'm pixxed right off, used to be able to go to away games regular, can't now due to away season tickets and you need to have attended 15 games the year before. I must say the system is wholly unfair these days.

Dougie, Even with membership I have had trouble getting ticket for home games, as for away, forget it. Couple of season ago I could get away ticket for most games. Where have all these loyal Leeds fans come from?

Agree AGM, i don't think the club are being particularly loyal, i even sent an email yesterday explaining, but they said they need to be fair to everyone. Funny because their fair is based on last year. not good.

Another annoying thing is some of these away season ticket holders don't set foot inside ER plus others who only attend away games.

Hope you are all ok - very quiet on here today : (.

Not just today Alf.
But hey, this is about footie banter isn’t it, so without the footie, it’s just not the same.
But well played to those who keep posting much needed jokes and humour!
